Citing a draft of the plan, Reuters reported on Thursday, Japan's Ministry of Finance (MoF) plans to sell 190 trillion yen ($1.44 trillion) worth of Japanese government bonds (JGB) in the fiscal year beginning April 1, with cuts in the amount of short-term debt sold.

Separately, Reuters noted that “private sector advisers of Japan's top economic council on Thursday called on the government to step up talks on how to ensure wages rise faster than inflation.”
